Hi everybody:
I have a small problem concerning the H-bridge L298 since am building a line following robot and am using the L298 H-bridge… the problem which am facing it that I only need to use 1 input from phase A and 1 input from phase B and to be more clear I only need to use pin ( 5 & 10) and still I have 2 input pins free " pin ( 7 & 11) so my question is it safe to connect these pins (7 &11) to the ground or connects the pins (7-5) & pins (10-11) with each others and then use the 2 inputs as 1 input ?? if there is any idea please post it and thanks a lot
